Reba McEntire maybe skipping our San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo this year (hey, you can catch her in Houston next month), but her fashion line was center stage at North Star Mall, helping kick off the rodeo season.

The “Ropin' with Reba” fashion show, sponsored by Dillard's, drew a lively audience of women and men who bopped in their seats to Reba's “All the Women I Am” CD as they viewed her colorful collection on Dillard's customers and models from the Lari Nelson Fashion Group.

Lightweight tops with embellished necklines were teamed with tiered cotton skirts and swingy ones in denim. But all eyes were on Reba's cowgirl — and urban — boots, some embossed in faux snakeskin and others in luxurious suede.

Reba, co-host of the forthcoming Academy of Country Music Awards on April 1, autographed three photos and two CDs that were given away to fans in the audience. Special guest Robin Farrar, who works with Reba, told guests the singer will roll out new looks next month as well as more luggage, bedding and footwear, the latter a collaboration with shoe designer Vince Camuto.

Farrar also delighted Reba fans with more news: The redhead is working on a sitcom called “Malibu Country.” She'll play a woman whose rock-star husband cheats on her. She leaves him and Nashville to start fresh with her three kids in Malibu, where she jumpstarts her own crooning career.
